I should (can’t) overlook their Muslim problem and that they are being invaded and don’t know it, but to buy into this climate nonsense and spend waste that much money on it baffles one with an IQ of 3 digits.
We looked at the new Spending Review, which has allocated £45.1 billion to Mad Miliband’s DESNZ to spend in the next four years.
I thought I would also try to put some costings on other Government expenditure which is devoted to the pursuit of Net Zero.
The Spending Review gives some clues:
- £2.6 billion over Phase 2 (2026/27 to 2029/30) for decarbonising transport
- £2.3 billion for local transport “improvements”, including cycle lanes and bus lanes, again over Phase 2
- £2.7 billion a year for sustainable farming and nature recovery.
- The Renewable Heat Incentive at £1.3 billion a year.
In addition there is international climate aid, which will be funded out of the Official Development Assistance budget. This has been running at over £3 billion a year for this year and last.
Then there is revenue foregone by the refusal to make EV drivers pay their proper share of car tax. Fuel duties currently bring around £24 billion a year. Currently there are about 1.5 million BEVs on the road, 5% of the total; so the Treasury is already losing about £1 billion in revenue. By 2030, the number of electric cars could potentially rise to 7 million, leaving a blackhole of £5 million a year.
There are many other costs incurred which are simply impossible to quantify or remain hidden from public view. For instance:
- The Affordable Homes Programme, which includes funding for energy efficient homes
- Local Government Funding, some of which is channelled to decarbonisation initiative
- Electric ambulances
- £15.6 billion for local transport in cities
- Decarbonisation of public buildings, paid for through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme
- Decarbonisation of defence
